Got a message on FB telling me I should "tone it down, or I'll loose bookings".....
mannnnnnnnnn.......
EFFFFF those bookings. If you can't rock with me when I stand for my people I don't want to be apart of what you're producing.
How does it feel to live life w/ no integrity?
@DeAnna4Congress
@ajscribes
No, but stop telling Black and Latino women that their sexuality is a problem.
Like if those are YOUR values let them be you, but don't sit here an chastise them (or anyone else) for owning their stuff.
It's really not your place.
@local__celeb
As a millennial I didn’t understand ANY of what was said there lol.
I dont know what a hufflepuff is, wine... no thanks , don’t play video games, there’s an avocado shortage thanks to 20 something white ladies who do brunch. Is complaining about being an adult a thing? I’m lost
This is an important image in the HISTORY of professional wrestling
For Black WOMEN
For mothers
For Black people as a whole
Jade stands for something super special and I’m here for hit

Y’all
Jim C*rnette doesn’t like Keith Lee because he’s well spoken...
Y’all just want him walking around shuckin, jiving, & talking like he’s got no sense.
F*ck outta here
White folks LOVE X-Men.. relate to the characters & think the stories are co compelling, but don't understand WHY Black folks are mad
WE'RE THE MUTANTS
WE'RE THE X-MEN IN THIS SITUATION!
If you EVEN TRY to justify that Sammy Guevara comment I PROMISE YOU I have time today
@CodyRhodes
ya'll care? Ya'll need to address this in a real way. Hold the ppl in your promotion accountable to the ppl who support
This is a moment where your actions need to meet your words
TOO MANY BLACK PRO WRESTLERS ARE OVERLOOKED BECAUSE THEY DON'T CHECK OFF THE BOXES OF WHAT MIDDLE AGED/OLD WHITE MEN THINK A BLACK PRO WRESTLER IS SUPPOSED TO BE...
Never forget this time last year we had promoters telling Black wrestlers to stop being so loud when speaking up on civil rights issues.
Seriously never forget that moment in the industry
Black folks: “we need to see more Black faces in profile positions ”
Stans: “Look at these Japanese people; look at the Mexican ppl. See look they have brown ppl”
Me only a few weeks in the business
At 2300, standing in a locker room clocking EVERYBODY. Not knowing who to approach
Jay gestures me to come over “mane ain’t nobody gonna bite you. U ain’t Come sit w/ us. U my brotha now u good”
Thanks for looking out for me 🙏🏿
So there were only Black people on the preshow and in battle royal…
When was the last time a Black person had a featured singles on a PPV for this company…
Wrestling question....
How are you “Elite” with no representation of women, Black folks, other ppl of color, LGBTQIA.
Doesn’t sound “Elite” and idk how “sweet” it is.... I’ll take the version that had brown ppl thanks
Jeff is one of those people (in the same realm as PARAMORE) that Black folks always gonna love.
Something about dude always resonated with Black folks... the most hood ass negros love Jeff Hardy
That Satta interaction in regards to the Young Bucks is VERY telling of their fan base/WHY wrestling will never transcend the way it absolutely should
I continue to see a bunch of late 20’s - early 40’s men unable to articulate concise point & not understand opinion is just that
Every time it pops up I post it
Cause that “let it go it’s the past” is really funny when you go i have living family who went to segregate schools.
Boston still had segregated schools in 1986 hoe…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
She stood toe to toe on the mic week in and week out with some of the most gifted talkers in the history of the business and never missed a beat
This is the greatest women’s talker in the history of that company no close 2nd
Never forget Kanyon was running around Diamond Cutter’ing EVERYBODY for MONTHS
Folks hate on the end times of WCW cause y’all can’t get past the bullshit.
There was a lot of gold in the undercard and matches that are formulated like the stuff y’all call “bangers” today
Y’all DID NOT have this energy when PAC walked out
It was “he didn’t deserve the bad booking and crappy t-shirt.”
It’s crazy how the energy switches when it’s Black folks
THIS IS ME SPEAKING TO WRESTLERS SPECIFICALLY.
Don't ask people to retweet your merch or share your matches moving forward if you didn't speak up now
Too many of you said or did nothing. It LITERALLY take a moment
U can say u care but u chose 2 NOT use ur platform
So white men who enjoy wrestling specifically
What are YOU doing to help create spaces in wrestling that don’t solely cater to straight white dudes, their opinions, and their experiences?
I can’t stand this WWE style conversation you unstylish fans have week in and week out
Ain’t no way Seth Rollins in the king of any fashion or style when Montez Ford is on the roster.
Y’all gonna put some respect of his name.
Stop it now
Y’all had more negative energy for AJ Francis talking bout shoes then y’all did that racist ass Jaxon Ryker & this is why I’ll never respect y’all dusty bunny ass fans
Real quick...
Can we stop with that “Black wrestlers don’t develop their characters” bs as if “white boy with long beard” isn’t a passable character trait y’all LOVE.
Just b/c YOU don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not a thing
Wanna talk about that? Or is that enough today?
While we're here BLACK MEN...
STOP abusing & killing BLACK TRANS WOMEN.
In this time I DEFINITELY have the time to address the toxic mindset of my community
Also if you're fighting for black lives but hate Black Trans you can catch this fade, cause ure a hypocrite
See me
@ItsLovelyLaveau
Meanwhile go look at the 1st 5-6 classes in the hall���.
Asking all these questions but still ain’t ask his wife where she was January 6th…
It’s just so much easier to say what you really mean
If y’all are booking this dude moving forward you are garbage.
It’s not funny nor cool. If you know homie you better check him, & if you feel this way I invite you to remove yourself from my followers as you don’t deserve me.
If I see him on your posters I’m airing you out
BLACK STRUGGLES ARE NOT ALWAYS POC STRUGGLES
POC experience ≠ Black experience
Yes folks still struggle, without a doubt but it’s important to understand the differences.
A lot of Non-Black POC use Black struggle to valid their struggle (which is already valid in its own way)
How do some of you love & “understand” the plot of X-Men but not what Black ppl have been going through?
Similar story arch
difference....
Our super power is perseverance
But you aren’t ready to talk about that.

I know I’m missing some… who else (Folks not on TV deals… if you’re stables not on here no shade… just drop a pic and a link)
Mf’s be like: “ I work stiff or “I work strong style”
Nah beloved you work “unsafe”
Working TIGHT is very different than what a lot of folks think they’re doing
You saw Shibata throw a kick that looked deadly so you though you’d replicate w/o practicing timing & placement
Ok real rap… Pro Wrestling needs to go on a 21 day sabbatical
Covid is out here out and y’all acting like you’re invincible… if y’all running shows W/O PROOF OF VAXX AND NEGATIVE Covid tests you’re irresponsible right now
They said Kane was the smartest person in the locker room…
Y’all favorites must have mash potato brains cause bayyyybeeee it’s nothing but bees up there
"Be Hennessy , My Friend.
Empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless, like Hennessy.
You put Hennessy into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put Hennessy into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.”
I get it now

@theleemoriarty
I really think you’re about to inspire a who generation of little Black kids who operate in that similar lane but never saw themselves.
I’m excited to see it
People will say stuff like “wrestling in gyms” or “only wrestling in front of _____ amount of ppl” to invalidate us as if that’s not a part of the grind.
That’s what you’re SUPPOSED TO DO
It’s how I know folks have never grinded for anything in their life
Y’all gonna defend Naomi like y’all do Alexa? Or y’all gonna do her like y’all do when folks talk about Sasha & just leave it up to her to speak on it?
Y’all keep SAYING y’all aren’t anti Black but sure do like minimalizing Black conversations
Ok friends give me ONE OR TWO BLACK PRO WRESTLERS I should watch.
I’m going to invest some time & watch and throughly the next few weeks I’m going to watch & respond to each
You sure?
